Well, depending on exactly what semantics you associate with "call", the
erl_interface library could be what you're looking for. It lets a "C
node" communicate with distributed Erlang nodes, and part of the
functionality this provides is of course the possibility to make remote
procedure calls - i.e. you can call an Erlang function in an Erlang node
from your C node.
